Microalgae: A good carrier for biological selenium enrichment.

Selenium is a crucial micronutrient for human well-being, with significant contributions to antioxidant, anti-ageing, and antiviral activities. However, over one billion people globally struggle with selenium deficiency, leading to a pressing need for selenium supplementation. Conventional selenium-enrich food from plants and animals provides challenges in achieving precise selenium supplementation.

Thermal Characterization of Ultrathin MgO Tunnel Barriers.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with ultrathin MgO tunnel barriers are at the heart of magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) and exhibit potential for spin caloritronics applications due to the tunnel magneto-Seebeck effect. However, the high programming current in MRAM can cause substantial heating which degrades the endurance and reliability of MTJs. Here, we report the thermal characterization of ultrathin CoFeB/MgO multilayers with total thicknesses of 4.

Overexpression of the Poa pratensis GA2ox gene family significantly reduced the plant height of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Poa pratensis.

Gibberellin (GAs) is an important plant hormone that plays a key role in plant growth and development. Gibberellin 2-oxidase (GA2ox) catalyzes the inactivation of biologically active GA or their direct precursors. In this study, five GA2ox genes were isolated from the wild type Poa pratensis 'Baron', named PpGA2ox3, PpGA2ox4, PpGA2ox5, PpGA2ox8, and PpGA2ox9.

Technology Invention and Mechanism Analysis of Rapid Rooting of Rehder Branches Induced by .

, a vital source of the anticancer drug paclitaxel, grapples with a pronounced supply-demand gap. Current efforts to alleviate the paclitaxel shortage involve expanding cultivation through cutting propagation. However, traditional cutting propagation of is difficult to root and time-consuming.

Modeling and Analysis of Human Comfort in Human-Robot Collaboration.

The emergence and recent development of collaborative robots have introduced a safer and more efficient human-robot collaboration (HRC) manufacturing environment. Since the release of COBOTs, a great amount of research efforts have been focused on improving robot working efficiency, user safety, human intention detection, etc., while one significant factor-human comfort-has been frequently ignored.

Integrated Analysis of Coding and Non-coding RNAs Reveals the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Salt Stress Response in .

Salt stress is among the most severe abiotic stresses in plants worldwide. is a model plant for legumes and analysis of its response to salt stress is helpful for providing valuable insights into breeding. However, few studies have focused on illustrating the whole-transcriptome molecular mechanism underlying salt stress response in .

Altered Promoter and G-Box Binding Factor for Gene Grown from Seeds after Spaceflight.

In plant cells, the nucleus DNA is considered the primary site of injury by the space environment, which could generate genetic alteration. As the part of genomic mutation, genetic variation in the promoter region could regulate gene expression. In the study, it is observed that there is a deletion in the upstream regulatory region of the gene () of dwarf mutant and the transcript abundance is lower in the dwarf mutant.
